Pimp My Rice: Spice It Up, Dress It Up, Serve It Up

I ordered this for a foodie friend as a birthday gift to go with some other bits but arrived with the edges all damaged and squashed. As a hardback book this was really disappointing

Inspirational for people who enjoy cooking

I love this book. I've made a few of the recipes and they have been easy and clear. I've read them all though and some sound a bit exotic, but actually are really easy to prepare and most items can be easily substituted if not available. I am also looking forward to using new types of rice such as red rice. I've used most before, but not all, & unlike other ingredients, if I buy a bag of red rice, it's not going to go off any time soon, so I don't have to use it all up in a week.My only gripe about this book is that it could do with some ribbon place markers so that I don't have to scrabble around for bits of paper that then fall out, as I tend to make 2 or 3 recipes in one go... but that's just me!

for some reason i thought book would be about Indian rice dishes,i found it confusing jumping from one continent to the next.loads of different countries how am i going to thread them in.if you want rice dishes from all around the world this book is for you.

Liked the mowgli street food book but didn’t enjoy this one.

Some really good recipes in this book which I have tried and cant fault them. It also has a wide variety of recipes, Indian, Chinese, Jamaican etc so you do need a lot of different spices to hand. Glad I bought the book as its handy if you want a quick recipe and one that isn't in the usual cook books. Lovey

Liked the book, great receipies, nice and easy to follow unfortunately my wife still can't cook for toffee, so good job I bought it for my girl friend who is as sweet as mango and nice like rice. I have ordered the book how to be a 21st century house man and booked her on an indian cooking course, just hope she remembers to wash up afterwards. Hate a messy Kitchen me.

Great food ideas and recipes
